For someone who is not impressed very easily these Harbinger APS 15" Speakers sure made me smile big! Allways more power and volume, clean sound, durable and rugged construction, reasonably priced, I honestly can't find one thing wrong with them. When I want quality sparing no expsense to get what I want, I got what I wanted for so little. Harbinger being new to the market did it right the first time. Would do it again,

Really.... I can't believe the "over-rated " reviews on this speaker. I read them, trusted them and purchased the speaker. That was a mistake. I have been a working vocalist/musician for many years, and I am conctantly trying to decrease the load and increase the results. I thought a powered speaker would be the most sensible way to go. Also, keep in mind....I bought this on sale for $149 which seemed like a great deal. The speaker looks great, and appears to be solidly constructed, but the sound in general is very "hollow". I believe this to be due to the design and materials, but I can tell you that EV no amount of EQing was going to change that. EV, JBL, Mackie, speakers of a similar design don't sound like that. They sound great. The amp/speaker is only rated at 200 watts. I was only using a sing;e mic input for a rehearsal. It didn't take much at all to light up the "clip" indicater and generate distortion. There was no way I was going to get the output volume that I needed for even a relatively quiet band practice. Maybe the speaker is much more suited to a direct line input, but if you are send ing voclas thru it, let alone keys or an electric acoucic guitar it's not going to deliver. I know what I am doing when it comes to live sound, and I "baby" my equipment. Trust me when I say..."This one doesn't cut it...not even at $149"!! Spend a few more bucks and get a better powered speaker, or go with a powered mixer and a better passive speaker. If you still think you want to buy this item, try to thoroughly demo it at the store and save yourself the trip and hassle of returning it. You'll thank me for this honest and acurate review.

Purchased a pair of these APS15 as positive feedback had me convinced. Used these for small to medium DJ venues and the sound quality, performance, and build so far has been exceptional. Big sound at a fraction of the price. Seriously, these rock. You won't be sorry.

I actually traded in my JBL Eons for these. Crystal Clear sound and deep bass which was surprising for a speaker in this price range. I'll be using these for my next gig, but so far as I tested them out in my garage I had the volume on 2 and my neighbors on the next block heard them. The cabinet is pretty solid with a nice durable design. These speakers actually have a bold look to them which I can't say the same for others like Behringer or even the eons. So if you need a quality set of speakers, you can't beat these. I would recommend these to anyone.

Yea, these are nice. Really nice. I got two of them in a package along with a mixer and a couple mics. I'm not sure that i like the mics, but the mixer and these speakers are GREAT!! Great low end, nice clear highs. They are heavy and well built, and they look pretty good. The 5-band EQ is a great feature, EQ this speaker right and it will serve you very well!! I believe the amps clip light does come on a little early, but be careful. This cab is loud, but not VERY loud. Thats my only complaint, but hey, for the price, who cares! Just add two more and youre set! Overall a great cab for the price, plenty of low end punch and crystal clear sound. Get some!!

I purchased this speaker to try and resolve an issue with a regular venue of mine. The venue has very high ceilings and the walls above 8 feet are stone. I was getting tremendous reflection and echoing with my passive speakers no matter how I adjusted the position or equalization. A fellow DJ suggested going with large powered speakers like his Yamaha MSR400's as he wasn't getting these problems with his rig. Wow, the power, clarity, and penetration of these speakers solved the acoustic issues. I was amazed when several people who complained of the sound quality previously came up and asked me to play louder!

Bought these for at home practice jams with my garage band. Wasn't looking to drop big bucks on name-brand gear but didn't want bottom of the barrel either. These speakers did not disappoint. Clear sound across the spectrum with headroom to spare. Easily carries vocals over drums and two guitars. Eventually ran e-drums through the mixer with great results. ability to EQ is great. The price is a steal.

My band needed to beef up our current monitor and Pa system; and it did the trick beautifully. It has plenty of volume, sparkling highs and deep punchy lows. The built in amp does an excellent job. The speaker has a 5 band EQ to dial in the sound you want.

I had them shipped to my nearest store and they arrived in less than a week. When I got them home and unpacked them, one had a broken foot. On closer inspection I saw the cabinets are hard plastic and the feet are molded in with the cabinet. If they break, you are SOL. I guess if you use speaker stands you won't care but I suspect these speakers won't travel well. Mine won't travel, so I'm fine. I ran the busted speaker back to the store and exchanged it. No muss no fuss. Kudos to Guitar Center. I just wanted basic speakers for my garage band and I got some serious sound with these. I wanted the 15" speakers to get some bass and yeah, it does bass. The volume they produce is more than double what I need and the sound is clear. I hooked them up to an MP3 player to check the range and they met my expectations. Excellent choice for a garage studio.

I am a DJ that plays small to medium sized gigs. These are my first powered speakers but a buddy of mine has two passive JBL's; each 15 inch. It would be a stretch to say that these match his, but they do put out sound that is quite spectacular. He was astonished that I got such sound for less than 1/3 of what he paid for his pair! The clip light does seem to come on a little early, but they still have great sound. I run these with an Eon sub and it is quite a match. The sub adds bass however these could easily hold their own. They are very lightweight for a 15 inch speaker and very easy to use. I would definitely recommend these to a new DJ or someone who wants to add volume and clarity for a cheap price!

I bought two of these speakers and i am nothing but satisfied with them, i have my electronic drums ran through a mixer into these speakers and i am completely satisfied, the clip light comes on just a little early in my opinion but that's not a big issue, the graphic EQ that is installed on the speaker does not do much for the low end but if you already have a mixer that won't be an issue, i would recommend this product to anyone on a tight budget, after returning the HA 80 and picking these up I'd say you get more than what you pay for.

These are best active speakers you can buy in this price range. I have tested every brand in this price range and these are, by far, the best value. Keep in mind, you are getting a 15 inch not 8, 10 or 12. The sound is massive and they are solidly built. Get these and you won't be disappointed.

This speaker has exceptional quality in sound, it projects very clearly, and at the same time, with great volume capabilities. I am not disappointed at all with this speaker. This speaker is truly worth the price. It is very well built. It was bigger than i expected it to be, but that was my fault for not doing the research. Dimensions are: 19 1/4" across, 27 1/2" tall, 14" deep.

I love this speaker. I purchased it ~ 3 weeks ago. It is great for Karaoke and works as an excellent PA system. I utilized the speaker in a large gym and it held up well during a family reunion event. The sound is clear and travels far. As a matter of fact, it worked better than my cousin's D.J. equipment. My one speaker nearly out powered his collection of speakers. I plan to purchase another on soon. You can't bet the price. I highly recommend this speaker. YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!

I use Mackie self-powered speakers for my main PA system and needed some floor monitors for vocals. These work great! For vocals, the dynamic range of these speakers is perfect and for the price, I picked up 3 of them and love what they do. **If you are wanting to use these for your main PA speakers, I would advise caution. If you want the most volume out of them, use the line input from a mixing board and only run vocals. If you try to use a mic or instrument run direct, you will quickly overwhelm these speakers at a fairly low volume. Also, these things simply cannot handle the low frequencies put out by a keyboard.** But they make excellent vocal floor monitors for the price!!!

I've owned these since November with no problems at all. I wish they could be a little louder, but I never have a drop off in sound quality, and have never burned out despite very frequent use. They offer the best bang for your buck out of speakers in this price range.

I bought two Harbinger APS15 and one HX181S. One of my two APS15 has some bad RCA / XLR inputs. They seem to be shorted / shorting out. They have been like this since new. I thought I would just deal with it, but it has gotten worse and sometimes it just does not work at all. Now, it seems like my other APS15 is starting to do the same thing. I sent two emails to Harbinger and got no reply. Can't find a phone number for them.

I've installed these speakers in 2 of my bars now (2 per bar) The results are outstanding. I've seen the "Beginner Model" reviews and having 21 years experience in live and studio sound I can tell you that most people would not be able to tell the difference in sound to any comparable powered speaker. I have added an 18" 800 watt sub to each venue and the sound is incredible expecially if you consider the price. Each venue is 4000 sq. ft. or more and they fill the rooms with headroom to spare. They are loud, clean and good looking to boot. I have set them up outside also and had the police pay me a visit for my efforts, since I hadn't added the sub yet the bass was a little lacking outdoors but respectable considering the were on the roof!

I recently bought the Harbinger APS15. I bought it because as a traveling magician and entertainer I needed something that was compact and easy to carry. With the Harbinger, everything is built in. Now i dont have to carry, a mixer,sound board, stands, and everything else because it is all right there! The mixer and AMP is already there and instead of a stand I face it towards the crowd as a floor monitor. Perfect for traveling performers for a low price. Can't beat it!
